I’ve been running fish from the development branch for about a year, and I’m happy to say that nothing about it feels like it’s beta. It’s rock-solid (IMO) and my favorite shell 🐟

Fish is a surprisingly good shell.

It’s not POSIX compatible, but I don’t really care, it only executes its own scripts / functions. It’s not as innovative as elvish or nu, but it kind of does everything very conveniently and shell-y for lack of a better word – and it always seems so simple. It seems conservative in design, but the old concepts have been evolved in a very usable way. Something I can’t say for all the other shells I’ve tried – at some point, it always gets awkward where fish is just elegant.

I don’t know elvish, but I can’t get into nu. It is too different than what I learned (bash). I’m not sure I understand what they want to accomplish… Maybe I’m not the target, I use the shell to start commands as a dev, not as a devops or data guy…

I also had a hard time using fish the first time I tried it. But since the version on Debian 10 I re-tried and now the only thing to know is “put the arguments in quotes if you want the command to do globbing”. With that you can use 99% of the commands you find on internet as is.

Ruining another software, thanks for the warning.

exactly how is it ruined?

More and more I’ve seen these contextless comments. It’s really odd. Do people just expect us to know what they’re thinking?

I think some peoples developped an allergy to projects being (re-)written in rust. Not sure why.

fish is a nice shell
